Abstract

The Industry 4.0 concept, also called the fourth industrial revolution, represents a new era for the organization of production. One of the objectives of this fourth industrial revolution is the implementation of the so-called “smart factory,” capable of greater adaptability to the needs and production processes, as well as a more efficient allocation of resources, opening the way to a new industrial era. In the context of naval engineering it presents a great opportunity to improve both the shipyard and the construction process itself of a ship.
